We are a coalition of San Francisco Bay Area LGBTQ community members, local military veterans & activists that are organizing support and awareness for openly gay army whistle-blower Bradley Manning during the San Francisco Pride parade and festivities.
We are celebrating the radical heritage & original spirit of Pride by marching for a heroic Queer army intel analyst who sacrificed everything so we could all know the truth about US wars and foreign policy by a massive leaking of classified information via WikiLeaks. We will not only be supporting Manning but challenging an entire system of oppression at home and abroad. LGBTQ liberation is integrally tied to the collective liberation of all oppressed groups.Despite the SF Pride Board publicly maligning and rescinding Manning as a Grand Marshal, members of the San Francisco LGBTQ, military veteran and activist community have named Bradley Manning the 2013 San Francisco Pride People’s Grand Marshal & we will be marching in solidarity & in mass.
Endorsed by Queer Strike, Gays without Borders, Gay Liberation Network, ACT UP SF & East Bay, The Harvey Milk LGBT Democratic Club, Veterans for Peace, Iraq Veterans Against the War, SF Green Party, Occupy AIDS & Occupy SF. Organized by Courage to Resist and the Bradley Manning Support Network.
BRADLEY MANNING, a 25-year-old, openly gay, US Army intelligence analyst is facing life in prison and has been held in pre-trial confinement for over 3 years. He endured torture and solitary confinement for the first 10 months of his incarceration. He is accused of sharing with WikiLeaks: the “Collateral Murder” video of the killing of civilians and journalists by a US helicopter in Iraq, the Guantanamo Files, the Afghan War Diary, the Iraq War Logs, & revealing US diplomatic cables. In short, he’s been charged with blowing the whistle on war crimes & telling us the truth.
What We Need & What You Get:
Here is the breakdown.
We are looking to raise at least $5,000 dollars total.
Up to $3,000 dollars for posting and advertising (Specifically a premium ad space in the widely read and distributed Bay Area Reporter for the week of SF Pride)
Up to $2,000 dollars for a mass printing of Bradley Manning posters for the SF Pride parade contingent and the supporting crowd.
Donors will get stickers, posters & t-shirts depending on how much they give.
If we do not reach our goal we will put however much we raise towards these two efforts.
The Impact
Your funds will help raise significant awareness and a large show of support for Bradley Manning in San Francisco during LGBTQ Pride in the midst of his summer military court martial. We want to send Bradley Manning and the US Military a message that the San Francisco LGBTQ, veteran and ally community stands with and celebrates him as whistle-blower hero that should be freed and honored immediately.

I think we should all bring whistles (or mayB kazoos would be better) like the Hong Kong protest in support of Snowden, & then we can all whistle our songs of support as we march along
